LeeAnn Rimes has filed for divorce from her husband of seven years, Dean Shermet. Her lover, Eddie Cibrian, has also filed for divorce from his wife. It's a bummer when you get cheated on and divorced. You'd think at least one of the spurned mates would have been on the ball to get the legal proceedings rolling. I guess LeeAnn and Eddie are finally ready to stop bullshitting everyone and get on with a full-blown public relationship. It's about damn time. Here's LeeAnn's official statement, via her publicist, regarding the demise of her marriage: ["After much thoughtful mutual consideration, Deane and I have
agreed to move forward with dissolving our marriage. This decision was amicable
and we remain committed and caring friends with great admiration for one
another. Thank you so much for all of your continued love and support - it is
deeply appreciated."]
How can you remain "committed and caring" while in the throes of legally dissolving your union? Those seem like opposing goals. I guess all bets are off when someone as hot as Eddie comes along... and you've been involved in a sexless marriage with an allegedly gay backup dancer. Then it's like rolling with Vegas odds.
